The journey was uneventful and we finally arrived at Yuanbao Mountain at around ten o'clock in the morning.
There are many trees on Yuanbao Mountain, weeds everywhere, and many crags and rocks.
After parking the car, the young monk Yuquan and I got out.
I asked Yuquan, "Do you know where the cat demons are hiding?"
Yuquan said with a smile: "I know, I know. My master told me where those monsters are hiding when he was dying. They are hidden deep in the dense forest of Yuanbao Mountain. But there are so many trees on this mountain that it is difficult to tell where they are. I am afraid it will take some effort to find them."
I nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go into the mountains now."
Then, the little monk Yuquan and I walked into Yuanbao Mountain, a deep mountain forest. But sadly, we wandered around in the forest for a long time, deep into the depths of Yuanbao Mountain, but still did not find the hiding place of the cat demons.
Logically speaking, Master Xiangyun's words should not be false, not to mention that when Aunt Huang told me about Uncle Huang, I listened carefully. Those cat demons are indeed in Yuanbao Mountain, and they are hiding in the caves.
After a few hours, the little monk Yuquan and I were tired, so we found a relatively flat place to sit down. It was already close to noon, and the little monk Yuquan next to me had a rumbling stomach, and it seemed that he was hungry.
Seeing me looking at him, Yuquan smiled at me sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Yang, my stomach is really not doing well. I'm hungry again!"
I curled my lips and said, "Then you light a fire over here, I'll go catch some game, and we'll eat together."
When he heard that I was going to catch game, Yuquan's eyes lit up. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Brother Yang, go ahead. I'll make a fire now. You'd better catch a rabbit so that we can roast it and eat it."
I glared at Yuquan and said unhappily, "You only know how to eat!"
However, during the time I spent with the young monk Yuquan, I found that although he looked a little weird and naughty, he was not a bad person. And sometimes, he was a little stubborn, just like me.
Soon, I drank some water, got up and walked towards the northeast.
There are many kinds of trees in Yuanbao Mountain, many of which I cannot name. Moreover, most of them are towering and must be several decades old, if not hundreds of years old. There are many wild mushrooms growing on the ground, as well as many dead branches and leaves. It is obvious that few people come here.
I walked through the old forest, looking around and listening carefully to the movements around me. From time to time, I would encounter pheasants or something, but those pheasants were very alert and would fly up to the tall trees at the slightest movement. It was impossible for me to catch them.
After half an hour, I still found nothing.
But I didn't give up. I was actually hungry. After all, I vomited a lot in the morning. Now I urgently needed energy to replenish my body.
More than ten minutes later, I finally found a rabbit nibbling on the short grass at one o'clock in front of my right. The rabbit was very white, with fluffy hair and very fat, giving people a fleshy feeling.
When I approached the rabbit, it didn't even notice me.
This was beyond my expectation.
I approached the rabbit cautiously.
I have already taken out two of the Phantom Night Needles in my hand. I believe that as long as I
It is easy to kill the rabbit by circulating the energy of Yin De.
But just when I was ready to take action, there was a loud "crash" and a black thing suddenly jumped out from the bushes.
The black thing was incredibly fast. Before the rabbit could even raise its head, it had already pounced on it.
The next moment, the black thing opened its mouth, showing its teeth, and bit the rabbit's neck hard.
The rabbit was swung left and right, and finally became silent.
When I looked over, I found that it was actually a big black cat. The cat's eyes were big and bright, round and almond-shaped, with yellowish pupils. Its back was dark brown, and its belly was sandy yellow. Its tail was slightly raised and slightly bent.
No, that's not an ordinary cat, it's a raccoon cat!
I couldn't help but frowned, thinking, fortunately I didn't act impulsively just now, otherwise, I would have really alerted the snake. After all, the purpose of my coming here with the little monk Yuquan is to find the cat demon.
After biting the rabbit to death, the civet cat looked around vigilantly, as if it was afraid that something would snatch its food away. After a while, after finding no danger, it picked up the dead rabbit on the ground and quickly ran towards the north.
I was delighted and thought that the civet cat might be returning to its nest.
I quickly stood up, circulated the Yin De Qi under my feet, and followed him with the Seven Star Steps.
Although the Seven Stars Gang Steps does consume a lot of Yin De Qi, I am not afraid. After all, I have gone to the underworld, and my Taoism has increased a lot, so it doesn't matter if I consume a little bit.
Although the civet cat has a short body, it is very fast. When it moves through the woods and grass, it will make some noises from time to time and stir up some leaves.
I followed the Seven Stars Steps without making any sound, just like the breeze blowing through the treetops. I followed without making any sound, and the cat didn't notice me.
But the civet cat was very cunning. I followed it for a long time and found that it was circling around me and staying in one place for a long time.
I thought to myself, could it be that I was discovered by it
Just as I was about to wait in place, the raccoon cat suddenly changed direction and started running towards the northwest. Although I was a little surprised, I quickly followed it.
This time, the civet cat did not circle around me, but ran quickly and went deep into the dense forest.
I followed him, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Soon, to my surprise, the civet cat really returned to its nest with the dead rabbit. It stopped at the bottom of a cliff and put the dead rabbit in its mouth on the ground.
Then, a layer of earth-gray gas suddenly surged on the body of the raccoon cat, and then its body transformed into a graceful young girl.
The girl was wearing a light blue dress, with a fair face and red lips. Her figure was beyond description.
I hid behind a tall tree, staring at the girl intently.
The girl picked up the dead rabbit and held it in her hand. Then a gray demonic aura appeared in her palm and hit the stone wall of the cliff. Then, there was a wave on the stone wall. Just like water waves, a figure appeared on the stone wall.
Wide gap.
Because of the sunlight, I looked inside the stone wall through the crack and found that there were quite a few stalactites inside the stone wall. It turned out to be a cave.
Damn, I guess this place must be the lair of those cat demons.
I was filled with joy.
At this time, the girl in the blue dress had already walked into the cave. Not long after she entered, the gap outside the cave flashed and disappeared.
The stone wall on the cliff returned to its previous state.
If I hadn't followed that civet cat here, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to find this place with just the little monk Yuquan and I.
I was certain in my heart that this was the lair of those cat demons, but I did not act rashly.
I slowly moved away from behind the tall tree and walked carefully behind me, preparing to go back to look for the little monk Yuquan.
At this time, Yuquan had already started a fire. No one knew how he caught it, but there was a bird the size of a magpie roasting on the wooden rack. The feathers on the bird had been burnt off, and it was emitting a strong meaty aroma.
Seeing me come back, Monk Yuquan looked at me.
But when he saw that I didn't have a rabbit, he was surprised and said, "Brother Yang, you are not good at this. It's just catching a rabbit, why did it take you so long? I was waiting here anxiously, so I caught a bird and roasted it myself!"
I glared at the young monk Yuquan and said in a low voice, "Yuquan, when I went to catch rabbits just now, I met a civet cat. That civet cat has been able to transform into a human form. I'm afraid she is in the same group as the cat demons that harmed the Huang family. And I also found the cat demon's lair."
"What? Brother Yang, you found the cat demon's lair? Really?"
Monk Yuquan thought I was joking with him.
I walked up to him, tapped his head with my finger, and said unhappily, "Of course it's true. How could I lie to you about this? Let's go and meet those cat demons now."
But the young monk Yuquan hesitated.
He looked at the bird meat that was already cooked to a certain degree, then turned to me and said with a smile, "Brother Yang, wait a moment. I'm really hungry. Let me eat something first. Anyway, you've already found the civet cat's nest. It won't be too late for us to go there later."
Looking at the little monk Yuquan who was swallowing his saliva, I nodded and said, "Okay, then let's eat something first."
When I said "we", the little monk Yuquan was very protective of his food. He grabbed the roasted bird meat on the wooden rack and said to me with a smile: "Brother Yang, if you want to eat, go catch it yourself. I shot this bird, and it's not enough for me to eat."
Damn it, I can see that this little monk Yuquan loves food more than his own parents.
Although I felt a little unhappy, I left the fire and went out to hunt.
Half an hour later I had shot a rabbit and returned to the fire.
At this time, the young monk Yuquan was picking his teeth with a branch.
But when he saw the rabbit in my hand, his eyes brightened a little.
What happened next was a little funny. In order to eat rabbit meat, the little monk Yuquan not only massaged my shoulders, but also worked hard without complaint...
After eating and drinking, we put out the fire with wet soil.
Then, we followed the marks I left in the woods and headed towards the civet cat's nest on the other side of the cliff of Yuanbao Mountain.
